Cis-element of the rice PDIL2-3 promoter is responsible for inducing the endoplasmic reticulum stress response

Takahashi H, Wang SY, Hayashi S, Wakasa Y, Takaiwa F

A protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family oxidoreductase, PDIL2-3, is involved in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress responses in rice. We identified a critical cis-element required for induction of the ER stress response. The activation of PDIL2-3 in response to ER stress strongly depends on the IRE1-OsbZIP50 signaling pathway.
